You . . . might want to scroll up a bit, and then maybe apologise to DannyAlcatraz. - He was directly discussing accuracy of such throws with HawkDiesel, which is where the possibility of missing a throw would be being discussed.
You were the first person to start talking about balls. DannyAlcatraz was discussing caber and hammer throws. Not balls.
A ball of equivalent weight would be much harder to throw than a caber or hammer to equivalent distance - even harder than a humanoid.
If you’re just going to twist what people say to “win” internet argument points, find someone else. I couldn’t be more bored by such nonsense.
You’ve misunderstood my response, actually. The hammer throw is a ball at the end of a chain, and the other major example ITT is a “weight” which is just a heavy ball with a handle.
To the other element of the reply in question, he stated to hawk that it is very possible that such objects cannot be thrown accurately. I argued that there is no particular reason to beleive that is true. He replied as if I’d said that people don’t ever missthrow balls.
I generally respect [MENTION=19675]Dannyalcatraz[/MENTION] and I think in this case he just got caught up in “winning” an argument, and I have no patience for pedantic counters or for misrepresenting what someone said.
